I'm still having some problems that doesn't fit with that description. For example I'm working on pulling the metadata for Matthew Stover's Acts of Caine series. Without ISBNs I pull book 1 and 3 just fine, everything works as it should. But it will absolutely not find book 2; even when I get the ISBN off Amazon and use that, which I can also search on that ISBN and Librarything and pull up the book.

The weird thing is if I use a different ISBN off the Librarything's editions page, it will detect the book. However, when I do that, Calibre (for some reason) automatically resets my ordering of the Acts of Caine series to straight ones (instead of book one, book two, book three), etc...

It's driving me up a wall that I've got problems like these, and what's worse is I'm willing to work through and (if possible) fix them, but there isn't any way of figuring out exactly what in the hell is wrong.
